Table
The
surface of the dining-table can be given a high gloss by the use of french
polish. Cutlery of stainless
steel is set alongside the china plates, and a glass
is being filled. A salt cellar
is ready for use.
Chair
The
dining chairs are on castors of ABS
or phenolic resin. They are
upholstered in an acrylic fibre
in an attractive pattern making use of dyestuffs.
Comfort is provided by polyurethane
foam, which incorporates a fire
retardant for safety.
Walls
The
plastered walls are covered with wallpaper which has a PVC
(vinyl) coating for durability. Coloured patterns in the wallpaper are
made by pigments. The wallpaper
is a cellulose-based adhesive,
and contains a fungicide to discourage mould formation.
Wood
Laminate Floor
Resins
of urea-formaldehyde are used as adhesives
to bind the board together into laminate. The hard, decorated surface
is of a scratch-resistant melamine type of polymer. The floor itself
is varnished and kept shiny by the use of polishes containing wax.
Window
Glass
in the window-pane is held in a strong, easy-to-clean frame of unplasticised
PVC, its white colour coming from
a pigment of titanium oxide.
The frame is set into the wall using a silicone sealant.
